What is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic Astrology, or Jyotish Vidya, is an ancient Indian science dating back over 5000 years. Unlike Western astrology, which primarily focuses on psychological traits, Vedic astrology provides insights into different aspects of life, including health, career, marriage, and spiritual growth. At its core, Vedic astrology believes in karma and the idea that the planets and their positions profoundly impact your life path.
Fundamental Elements of Vedic Astrology:
- Zodiac Signs & Planets: Vedic astrology uses a sidereal zodiac system to the wither constellations. It encompasses 12 zodiac signs like its Western counterpart, but the dates often shift due to the precession of equinoxes.
- Birth Chart: Your birth chart, or ‘Kundli’, is a snapshot of the heavens at the time of your birth, offering insights into your traits, tendencies, and possible life events.
- Dashas: A unique feature of Vedic astrology, Dashas are planetary periods that predict significant phases and transitions in a person’s life, guiding them through personal and spiritual development.
Role of Vedic Astrology in Modern Times:
Despite its ancient roots, Vedic astrology remains highly relevant today. Dr. Arup Shastri utilizes this timeless wisdom to address modern challenges.
